Holiday, Celebrate

Back again for Day 2 of the 11 in 2011 Blog Challenge hosted by Kit from A Step Into My Life and MJ from Teaching in Heels.

Before I get started, you should know I am already keeping up with one of my New Year's Resolution- watching as much NCIS as possible!  Yesterday there was a marathon on until two am, but this girl did not stay up til two.  I recorded some of them and am watching them now.
Day 2: Favorite Holiday Memory
This one is hard because I've had so many favorite holiday memories, but I'll choose one from this past holiday season.  Or maybe a few.
1- Christmas We always have a tradition for Christmas Eve.  This year, we went to my parents' church for the Christmas Eve service and then headed home to eat up.  My mom puts out a ton of appetizer type food on Christmas Eve and we have an actual meal on Christmas Day.  We also open our Christmas Eve presents (always pajamas) and hang around.  On Christmas morning, my family all got up, ate breakfast, opened presents, and just chilled all day.  There wasn't anything super exciting that happened that day, but it was nice just hanging with my family.  We're not all in the same place at the same time for an extended amount of time usually.  My brother and sister live in Savannah and my parents go down there often, but not me.  Jamie and Chris (sister and brother) come up here often, but usually not together.  
So anyway, it was great just having the fam together and hanging out.  Oh, and the snow was nice too!
2- New Year's EveI kinda mentioned this yesterday, but I thoroughly enjoyed my New Year's Eve.  It was laid back, chill, and fun.  I feel like I'm so old now because we hung out in sweatpants and pajamas.  Girls' night, you could say.     
Each year, it still amazes me how quickly the holiday season goes by!  It's already January 2.  Sheesh.  I'll blink and it'll be May.
